years of valued active service,

you have always taken in the well
fare of the Company, have endeared

promoted with as much zeal and
honor as you have that of Foreman

A GRAND SUCCESS.

The picnic given by the ladies of
the Altar Society yesterday, on Ma
kee Island, Waikiki, was grand
success in every way. The weather
was beautifully clear, and a large
number both young and old availed
themselves of the opportunity of
spending a day in recreation and
pleasure, on one of the most pic
turesque and beautiful spots on the
Island of Oahu. Sea bathing, boat
ing, lawn sports, and a sumptuous
repast we're the order of the day.
To the latter full justice was done.
The committee are to be congratu-
lated on it being such a brilliant
affair,

1t would seem only fair and just that
a community paying the heavy taxes
levied by Fire Insurance Companies
should share In whatever profits may
accrue from the business by the redis-
tribution of these profits in the form of
dividends, and this result can be attain
ed in no way more readily than through
the mutual system, and the proposition
is to organize a local company on this
basis.
1t Is proposed TO call meeting of
subscribers TO the stock as soon as the
amount reaches Two Hundred Thousand
Dollars for the purpose Of organizing
and applying for Charter of lncorpor-
alton.
Accompanying this is subscription
list for stock, also another for applica-
tons for insurance, to which you are
respectfully solicited to subscribe.
The foregoing is merely an outline
which would be more properly filed up
In detail by the stockholders themselves,
If the scheme meets with public favor
and support.

PARCELS POST.

The announcement is made that
the Post-ofiice Department has estab-
lished a parcel-post service between
the United States and Mexico and
certain islands in the West indies,
by which packages weighing not
more than four pounds and frac-
ton, by which we suppose is meant
two kilogrammes, can be sent through
the mails, and delivered to the
persons addressed, upon payment of
the customs dues. Could not Min
lister Carter secure a similar arrange
ment for the Hawaiian Islands?
Cheap communication, cheap trans
portation is necessity of our mo-
dern civilization.

CIRCULAR LETTER.

TO the employees Of the Department
of the Interior:
GENTLEMEN Government Ofli-
GERS have heretofore been allowed,
and in some instances, required to
take an active part in electioneering
and partizan politics in this King
dom.
One of the most important changes
effected by the New Constitution, is
that by which Government Officers
are made ineligible to sit in the
Legislature.
1t is the intention of the Head of
this Department, and of the Admins
istration, to extend this principle to
its legitimate sequence, and require
of all employees of the Government
that they abstain from active parti-
cipation in partizan politics.
Your attention is directed to the
fact that public Officer is public
Servant, and that your duty is to
serve equally the whole public.
Active participation in an election
campaign, and the advocacy of one
party or candidate against another,
must necessarily prevent that i'm
partial and unbiased discharge OF
the duties of a Government Officer
which the public have a right to
expect. You are therefore requested
to abstain from taking any active
part in the coming or any future
elections. A neglect to comply with
the foregoing will be considered
good cause for removal from office
Your right as men to vote fol

Had a Dead Arm.

The other day well-known Detroit
doctor was eating lunch in restaurant
alongside of a business man, when the
latter Remarked: 81 just saw case to
interest you in the cigar store. There
is man there who has no feeling at all
in his right arm" Case of paralysis,
of course" replied the DOCTOR ooh,
no, it isn't. He has been examined by
some of the most eminent surgeons and
they declare that it isn't. If it was a
case of paralysis he could't move his
arm, you know" How long has ii
been SOP" cover twenty years, he
tells me. He says he'll pay any doctor
900 to restore the natural feeling"
"I'll see him." remarked the doctor,
and when dinner was over the two
went into the cigar store, and the medi-
cal man was introduced. I" Did this
thing happen all at once?" asked the
doctor. Yes, sir; there was no warn
ing whatever" - Does the arm feel
dead?" Perfectly dead. You can
stick your knife into it without my feel
ing sensation" "That's odd. Let
me feel of it," The doctor put out his
hand, made one grip, and then turned
on his heel and left the place, his face
as red as paint and his gait somewhat
eccentric. 1t was wooden arm. The
real one was shot off at Gettysburg

European Balance of Power.

One result of the collective suprem-
acy of the five powers is the eXemp-
ton of the minor governments from all
responsibility for the condition of
Europe. The petty German and Italian
states, indeed, are now constituent
parts of great monarchies; but such
Portugal, and even Spain, though they
maintain considerable armies, are sup
posed to have nothing to do with the
balance of power or the maintenance of
European police. Their security might
be impaired if a general war were to
break out. Both Belgium and Holland
were threatened with the hostility of
one or both belligerents in the war of
1870; but their independence has not
been actually assailed. If they could
be assured of perpetual neutrality
their condition might be considered en-
viable. Norway and Sweden and the
two peninsular kingdoms may be con-
sdered as beyond the reach of aggres-
sion. AT the other extremity of the
continent the liberated Turkish prov
inces have purchased their freedom at
the cost of being exceptionally exposed
to the danger of war Roumania was
forced to follow Russia into an un.
provoked attack upon Turkey, Servia
having in the previous year been in
duced by the same power to prepare
the way for an attack on the Ottoman
Empire. Montenegro, Servia, Bulga-
ria and Roumania are always liable TO
be dragged into war as subordinate
allies of Austria or Russia. There is
no reason to suppose that either to-
gether or separately they will at any
future time have the means of pursu-
ing policy of their own. The old
English plan of supporting Turkey
against Russia was founded on conf
dence in the military resources of the
former 1t was known that the Turks
were almost unequaled as soldiers and
that the numerous attempts of Russia
to gain possession of Constantinople
and the narrow seas had been success
fully batlled. 1t was foreseen that, as
the result has shown, any provinces
which might be detached from the OF
toman Empire would become auXiliaries
of Russia.

Pension Re stored.

Richard Dodge of Montpelier, who
has been restored to the pension rolls,
served about two years in the Mexican
war and forty-four months in the re-
bellion, and was brave and gallant
soldier in each war. He was wounded
in both wars, and in the late war he
contracted an injury to the abdomen,
for which he was pensioned soon after
the close of the war at "a month,
which was increased from time to time
to $l2 month. In his pension certifi-
cate his disability was called hernia.
From first to last he had received as
many as twenty examinations by sur
geons, who had always called his dis
ability hernia. In 1882, becoming wholly
unable to labor, he applied for an
increase Of his pension and was ex-
amined by board of surgeons, who re-
ported that Dodge had no hernia and
his pension was dropped, He was with
out other means of support and after
a few months he and his wife went to
the poor-house, and have been sup
ported by the town ever since. Dodge
has complained bitterly at this treat
ment, but not without cause. In one
of his recent complaints to the pension
office he said: " | declare, finally, that
my disability has never ceased TO exist.
Whether the technical name of it is
hernia, variocele, hydrocele or some
thing else, it is disability, and no one,
| believe, other than an unfriendly
board of surgeons would resort to a
heartless technicality to deprive an old
soldier like myself, whose only support
is his pension, and consign him to the
poor-house." Dodge has now his pen
sion, which will support himself and
wife and will take them off the town.
